Someday
Embracing Tomorrow: A Love's Promise in Carpenters' 'Someday'
Lyrics
Someday, rested from hours of sleeping
Someday, after a period of restful sleep
We'll stay safely behind what we're keeping
We will stay securely protected with our shared secrets
You'll seem warmer than I had remembered you
You will appear warmer than my memory of you
Lying so close I'll be able to feel you breathe
Lying closely, I'll be able to sense your breath
I could never leave
I could never part from you
One day, when I am able to love you
One day, when I am capable of fully loving you
I'll come back from wherever I've been to
I'll return from wherever I've been
I'll see you looking the same as you always have
I'll see you appearing unchanged, just as you always have
Lovely, so lovely, I'll cling to the love you give
You are lovely, and I'll hold onto the love you share
So I'll start to live
Thus, I'll start truly living
Someday is coming
Someday is approaching
If I believe it
If I believe in it
Someday always brings the good life you knew
Someday always brings back the good life we once knew
Ever back to you
Returning it to you
[Repeat: x2]
[Repeated twice]
How I need you
Expressing a deep need for you
Someday, all I can give you is someday
All I can offer you right now is the promise of a future ("someday")
Someday, all I can offer is someday
All I can present to you at the moment is the prospect of a future ("someday")
Please say that you'll be waiting when someday comes
Please assure me that you'll be waiting when that promised day arrives
Promise me this and a kiss, to keep what you are
Promise me this, along with a kiss, to preserve your essence
Always close to me
Always remain close to me
